Canea which were no pinched back during the summei should be cut to about tw< feet. Lateral branches should beheaded back to tve or alk buds. This rather severe heading back of laterals wi:i not materially affect the total yield, but will result In berries of larger stse Blackberries of the bush type are pruned similarly raspeberrler. although back of laterals Is not usually severe. Laterals are commonly left eight Inches to one foot

For blackberries of the black Diamond type, all wool which produced fruit the prertou* year should be pruned ouu Cut out canee which are very weak or too ifbort to tie to the trellU.

Whenever possible, the need will not be cut until Immediately before It Is te be used. Dust Ing the freshly cut surface* with sulfur or land plaster lo dry the cut surfaces will be p-actlced by many of the more successful potato growers. Experience has shown that freshly cut out-yield seed which has been cut for Home time. W. H. Martin, potato authority of the New Jersey Experiment Station.

This proved a golden oppor tunlty for the men building the plants and tho*e who purchased them, for almost every one succeeded. It enlarged the population and Increased the business the town merchants. From this small start Toms River poultry section grew until today It to second lo Vineland.

This company bought ground. feed house, grinding and mixing u and last year done over $XD0.000 business In feed and poultry

season.

These men also raise a large number of pullets each ye*r. selling off the surplus to a good advantage and at the name time, at a profit, providing a way for poultrymen who are not equipped with brooders, brooder houses, etc., to secure pullets of quality at reasonable prices and at the
